[Warning: Contains spoilers for the Survive drama trailer]

Okay I just watched the trailer for the survive drama (it dropped a couple minutes ago). I think we already knew, but this round is gonna be crazy (as well as likely all the others this season). It looks like we'll be getting lore for both groups too and I'm assuming they (cozmez and Kenta) will be confronting people who have hurt them in the past (cozmez with their mother and Kenta with 'Teacher' who I guess is the person who taught him how to code but then backstabbed him).

Battle Above the Gods Eye: Fan Animation by Unity 5 Games

I’m gonna cry

I think it’s interesting how the extra-canon material paints a picture of the fire nation being militaristic /in general/ and not specifically in the context of the years of and surrounding the Hundred Year War.

Like how the Royal Fire Academy for Girls in the Kyoshi is not just a posh boarding/finishing school. It might be like 1/4 finishing school but it’s like 3/4 boot camp. Rangi is a trained bodyguard /as a teenager/ and that’s not weird or concerning, it’s something honourable, to be proud of.

Agni Kais in general, while very significant to the plot of ATLA, have also existed and played a prominent role in Fire Nation culture long before the Hundred Year War. Which is interesting! It’s so telling of how significant combat is to the Fire Nation and how fire is culturally and ceremonially defined by the ability to overpower your opponent into submission. It really is seen and understood as the element of aggression.

The Fire Nation is also often in conflict either with the world or within itself. It started off as a bunch of warring states, reminiscent of Sengoku period Japan, before becoming a united nation. And even then, in the Shadow of Kyoshi, we see that there is a ‘war of the roses’ type succession war.

And, sure, there’s war and conflict in the Earth Kingdom and probably the Water Tribes, too. But I think with the Earth Kingdom it’s often explained that a country that size is just impossible to govern by a single body. Or it’s a corruption thing? The Earth Kingdom has issues with governance and its class system - which I think makes sense for a country represented by the element of stability, it’s all about trying to maintain the status quo and people taking advantage of their power and status and then facing the repercussions of that.

Whereas our view of the Fire Nation is largely of its aristocracy, we honestly don’t spend much time with non-royal or non-noble Fire Nation characters. We don’t really see class struggles except in early book 3 episodes. And I think it really does solidify the perception of fire as the element of power, because we largely see it associated with powerful people who have the means to wield it over others.

And so the conflict that we do see in the Fire Nation are power struggles. It literally is about being stronger than your opponent physically or politically. And because of the significance of Agni Kai, being physically powerful lends you a lot of political power.

Anyway my main point in all of this is that, yes, fire might have signified more than just war and power, but for at least half a millennium if not longer, war and power was /the/ main association with fire and firebending. In so much that it’s /baked/ into their history, culture, traditions, education system even before Sozin was born, let alone before the war started.

The original show did seem to imply that the Fire Nation had a rich history of things other than war and militarism before the Hundred Year War started. Aang in The Headband was convinced that things were /different/ in the past, and yeah, that’s mainly in reference to dancing and freedom of expression. But coupled with the Sun Warriors’ philosophy about the meaning of fire, it gave off the impression that the Fire Nation was less militaristic as a whole. Or maybe it is a class thing! Maybe the nobility are militaristic and the common folk see fire in different ways to do with passion or life as the Sun Warriors did!

I think if it is the case that the Fire Nation has been about constant war and fighting for power, then Zuko has a tougher job than imagined after the end of the series. Cos it’s one thing to push back against a century of imperialism and aggression, but if it’s been part of your culture and history for half a millennium - woah, that’s an insane amount to unpack. And with how a nation is supposed to embody the nature of their element, I’m a little sceptical of how much a whole nation’s identity can be rewritten.

Monster Hunter Stories 2 Third Anniversary ! (OMG Time flies !)

3 years ? Are you serious ? 3 YEARS ?!

Time flies way too fast in my opinion ...

3 years later and this is still one of my favourite games of all time, if not my favorite !

Also they just made a compilation of both games released ?! I hope this will mean a future third game because I don't want this series to end.

Anyways, for the First Anniversary, I did a fanart of the final battle, now have the people that were with us at some points of the story ; our beloved Battle Buddies ♥

By the way, who's your favourite among them ? Mine is definitely Alwin ♥♥ Bonus point for Shaulk because it's a Legiana and it's one of my favorite Monsties too ♥♥♥

OKAY SO I SAID I'LL POSTTHIS WHEN I WAS DONE WITH BARON- BUT FORGOT- SO HERE THEY ARE

Here's Unity Ace!

He has resting bitch face :D

Unlike canon Ace, he's way more open to new people. In fact, he's the one that ended up contacting the brawlers (via the bakugan forums) for help.

Ofc, Darkus user, he specializes in the dark magic.

Reminder, in Unity AU, both humans and vestals can use magic, with Vestals being better equipped to handle magic.

For example, he could literally turn into a shadow. He could also replace someone's shadow (temporarily) with himself.

And here's Unity Baron

As mentioned on Mirage's post, he's 24.

He lives in a small town that's inhabitated by vestals and bakugans. The Vexos/Royal family want that town eradicated. Him and Nemus protect said town from the Vexos.

At first, he really hated the royal scientist family, making Mirage afraid to ever tell him the truth about her. However, once he learns the truth, he still decides to stick by with her, since he sees she wants to rectify the actions of her family and the royal family.

Specializes in Haos magic.

He's more mature than canon Baron, always keeping Mirage in check.

For example: When Mirage pretty much doesn't want to let Volt and then Lync to join the resistance due to their past affiliation with the vexos, he has to remind of her past affiliation with her father.

Obv big bro energy, since well, he IS a big brother.
